St. Peter's Basilica is one of the most unique pieces of architecture that holds a position in the Christian World. It is said that it is home of one of the 12 apostles tomb. It is also where majority of the Popes interred the Basilica for centuries now. Because the Basilica is in the Vatican it is big on pilgrimages and holds up to 15,000 to 80,000 people.
The Last SupperLeonardo da Vinci's Last supper is located in Milan in Santa Maria delle Grazie. One of the most well known paining of Christ with his apostles in what seems to be their last meal together before the crucifixion. Vinci's way of painting this was astonishing, Christ has no halo but uses the middle window as some sort of halo. There are 4 walls and there are four groups of three with the apostles. There are so many other things that Vinci included in the paining as well.
